Welcome to My Italy

Italy is a land of generous-hearted people, tremendous beauty, incredible antiquity and unforgettable food. That is why people keep coming back.

My Italy tours in 2019 will introduce you to three distinct regions of Italy: Lake Garda and the Italian Dolomites, Puglia (the heel of Italy) and Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Each region is unique in its landscape, its history, its cuisine, culture and dialect. Each tour is a ten-day in depth experience of that uniqueness and is limited to just 12 people whom I personally accompany.​Join me on my own quest to connect to the spirit of Italy - Tullia Maffei Lynch

2019 Italy Tour Overview

​Sicily | ﻿Greek Temples, Roman Ruins, and more

Sicily is an amazing conglomeration of waves of civilizations that have washed up on its shores – Phoenician, Carthaginian, Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman to name a few.Sicily is Greek temples, Roman ruins, Arab markets, Norman cathedrals, Mount Etna and more.There is where you enjoy Sicilian couscous, Pasta Norma, Cannoli and cassata,Nero d’Avola wine and Averna, its unique digestive liqueur.

Lake Garda & the Italian Alps | ﻿The best of both worlds

Lake Garda & the Italian Alps is known for its fortress castles, its turquoise colored lakes,the lemon trees and olive groves that grace Lake Garda’s slopes and the Alps’ breathtaking jagged pink peaks.This region encapsulates the best of both worlds:the warm and sunny Mediterranean climate of Lake Garda and the fresh air and pure water of the Dolomites’ pristine alpine meadows and glorious mountain heights. Think polenta and porcini mushrooms, speck and spressa cheese washed down by Valpolicella Amarone or Alto Adige white Gewurtztrauminer and let’s not forget strudel for dessert.

Puglia | ﻿Exquisite blue beaches and olive groves as far as the eyes can see

Puglia- Embraced by the Adriatic and Ionian seas,is the land ofexquisite blue flag beaches,unusual trulli structures and olive groves as far as the eye can see.
